About The Position

Cherre, now a RealPage company, is a leading real estate data management and analytics platform. We connect, resolve, and organize fragmented data for institutional investors, asset managers, and brokers to power underwriting, portfolio management, and reporting. This role is central to translating our platform into value for our most strategic clients, sitting at the intersection of real estate domain knowledge and modern data infrastructure. We are seeking a Senior Director of Solutions Architecture to lead our domain-first solutions engine within the sales and delivery process. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for the end-to-end presales function, from initial discovery to delivery handoff. You will manage and grow a team of Solution Architects and Business Analysts, setting the vision for how we scope, demonstrate, and win strategic deals. The ideal candidate possesses deep real assets domain expertise, complemented by technical acumen and a strong market-facing presence, enabling them to guide solutions, engage with client leadership and data teams, and represent Cherre effectively to decision-makers. We are looking for a leader who will modernize the function by building tools and AI-assisted workflows to enhance team efficiency and effectiveness.

Requirements

Real assets domain expertise spanning the full stack: capital stack (fund structures, debt and equity vehicles, investment vehicles) and physical, operational asset (property operations, leasing, maintenance, tenant and resident experience).
Track record of scoping and designing solutions that integrate both ends of the real assets stack.
Global and cross-asset-class experience: comfortable with multifamily, office, industrial, retail, and alternative asset classes, and across US, European, and APAC market conventions and regulatory contexts.
10+ years in real estate, proptech, or consulting, with experience leading teams of domain and technical experts.
Technical fluency in entity resolution, graph-based data models, and semantic layer architecture, sufficient to guide solution and demo design and engage credibly with client data and engineering teams on identity, confidence, and lineage.
Fluent in the shift from human-readable reporting to typed, governed interfaces built for agent consumption, understanding why this difference is a product architecture problem.
Demonstrated thought leadership: a track record of publishing or speaking on real assets, data, or investment strategy.
Executive presence to represent Cherre externally, lead strategic deal rooms, and translate technical complexity into business value for institutional buyers.
Ability to operate as both a player and a coach: hands-on deal involvement and effectiveness in hiring, developing, and leading a high-performing team.
An AI-forward mindset, with hands-on experience building tools, automations, or agentic workflows.
